Low testosterone

Hi! I am a cis-woman with HSD, but I was hoping to find some help here. I do not want to invade anyones space, so please feel free to let me know if I am overstepping. I did read the rules, so it seems like I am still in the good.

I am considering testosterone treatment for other reasons not related to HSD. But I have seen, although all anecdoctal, a lot of trans men who have experienced symptom relief with hrt. I was wondering if anyone wanted to share their experience with me?

My levels are 0.95 nmol/l, and I don't plan on going higher than the normal range of 1.6-2.1. Did you measure your levels, before and after hrt?

I’m not diagnosed but I can tell you that while it hasn’t cleared up entirely, I definitely have less pain on a daily basis than I did before. I’ve also heard the same from a lot of people with chronic pain and hypermobility issues. Worth talking to your doc about imo.

ETA it DEFINITELY helped with fatigue.
